Josh did you try this?
I was holding off sending Greg that manual because I have a 720k drive
and disks but just didn't have a pc handy to drive the drive. (I was
using the drive with a FluxEngine) But I do have some machines in
storage that should work, unless they're all dead from bad caps by now,
so I figured I might as well see if I can make the disks and toss them
in since I probably have everything needed.

I can probably write these with my greaseweazle - `gw convert` seems to
recognize them as MFM sectors. I don't have a drive to test on and (of
course, LOL) I gave away a lot of my 3.5" DD stash over the weekend but
I can write disks and mail them at cost if you want to take the chance.
Mail me directly if you want to go this route.

Got it. Thank you.
I have a couple of P4, made for XP era, computers that have 3.5"
1.44 floppy drives. I have gotten them to work as blutooth Disk+
host, but that kind got pushed to the back-burner after the ROMBank
failed. If that doesn't fly then maybe I can use it as an excuse to
pickup a functioning IBM Model 30 PS/2 that has recently appeared on
Craig's List here. I've had pretty good luck with old Matsushita
1.44 drives working where ever I put them. Even have a couple in my
DVI. Now that's a thought... maybe I could read/write TPDD and
Chipmunk diskettes in my DVI?
